How to String Beads on a Ribbon

Because ribbon frays easily, you might have trouble stringing beads onto it. But you can swiftly string beads without the frustration of damaging ribbon. Using ribbon for your beading projects will add a sense of elegance and beauty to your jewelry.

Things You'll Need

• Ribbon
• Dental floss
• Beads

Instructions

1. Cut a small piece of dental floss and loop it in half.

2. String a short length of the ribbon through the floss. Thread both ends of the floss through the bead.

3. Continue pulling the floss through the bead. The bead will eventually transfer onto the ribbon.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't have any dental floss on hand, you can use a fine gauge of beading wire.
